Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances
ingeli:
Did you use things from Riverview or for example store stuff without having it installed? That can make it unable to open. I have very few problems with CAW now, compared to earlier versions, and EIG works very smooth. CAW crashes sometimes when searching for stuff, but not worse than you can save without corruption, and reopen the file.
Did you try and open an earlier backup-copy of this world? Maybe you can narrow down what you changed or added before it became corrupt.

CAW... Okay, so I finally finished building my world and saved it. But then it would not export, so I created another save with a different name and saved that, and it still would not export. I keep getting the dialog box "world failed to export" or whatever. So I copied my files to another location and re-installed CAW. Then when I restored my old files to CAW it would not work AT ALL, I get the Could Not Load File Error.... If anyone has any light to shed on this, it would be very, very appreciated. ???
PS: We all know that CAW crashes constantly, even more often with Late Night, so I'm not sure if any of my saved files got corrupted, but I have several different save versions, and none of them work, so just thought I'd mention that.
PS2: I was browsing\googling around and found someone else with the exact same problem as me (hopeless carrot) none of the responses solved the problem, So that's a little more info. http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=422463
A PS2 is a games console. A P.P.S is a post post scriptum. Thank you, come again.

Sooner or later surely someone has to find out how we can use our own meshes as hood ploppables...
Isn't this already possible using the same principal as with these: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=427515

I tried to dl the 1.6 patch for CAW, and had all sorts of problems. So I uninstalled CAW and down loaded it again, and the patch doesn't come up in the launcher. Before I invest a lot of time in building a world, would someone please clarify for me: did I down a version that is somehow already patched? And if not, what do I do now?

Tell me if I'm wrong but, if I understand you correctly, you first downloaded a '1.6 patch' for CAW? There was once a patch for CAW, released ~ between WA and Ambition. But this patch was intended for a previous release of CAW, so there is no need to use it anymore. With Ambition EP/game patches, CAW was unusable for several weeks. EA released a new version of CAW (a complete new CAW, not just a patch) to make it usable again. We had to uninstall the previous one and install the new one.
I think that's the method they have used ever since: release of new software vs patch.
So, to be able to use CAW today, you should just: 1/ check you are up to date with all the latest patches of the game+ the EP/SP you own, 2/ download the last available release of CAW and install it. CAW should work just fine then.
As a tip, world building being so long indeed, keep back up's of your saves/files in CAW, frequent saves and back up's. There is always a chance that a new patch makes CAW unusable again for a while. Moreover, there is also a chance that a new version of CAW is not compatible anymore with previous saves.
